Hello Hipper,
thanks for posting these rare pics, and sharing them on here. Nice to see your your father with XV Sqn there, especially the two 'return from Suez' shots. What is especially interesting about them is WD980 is shown wearing the old Bomber Command 1 scheme with Suez stripes- this is the first time I've seen this for Suez - everything else was High Speed Silver or a few rare Bomber Command 2 jobs.
I have the Brian Cull book (superb) and it will be nice to match the Radio Cairo story to the photo of your father and Sqn Ldr Thompson. With your permission I'd like to include a few of these in the book. If you have larger versions of the two post Suez and the profile shot of WK122 (full body shot) I can PM you an email address.
In certain circumstances where a family member has clear memories of a late father's experience with the Canberra, I am including these accounts - if you are interested in relating some tales please do let me know.
Kind regards,
Steve
